<div id="pastingspan1">Pita Pit, the fresh thinking, healthy-eating brand, reached a milestone after opening its 600th restaurant in Quincy, Washington in February 2016. The 600th unit is significant for the brand as it experienced unprecedented growth in 2015 and it doesn&rsquo;t have any plans of slowing down.</div>

<div id="pastingspan1">&nbsp;</div>

<div id="pastingspan1">&ldquo;Hitting the 600-restaurant mark is an incredible achievement and shows the true energy our brand possesses while also highlighting the fact there is increased consumer demand for healthier alternatives to fast food,&rdquo; said Pita Pit Vice President of Franchise Growth Bill Wilfong. &ldquo;Twenty-fifteen was one of our most successful years in terms of growth and we are intent to carry that momentum throughout the rest of 2016.&rdquo;</div>

<div id="pastingspan1">&nbsp;</div>

<div id="pastingspan1">In 2015, <a href="http://1851.pitapitusa.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=pita-pit-opens-600th-global-restaurant-as-demand-for-fresh-alternatives-to-fast-food-increases-4446" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pita Pit</a> opened 35 new locations, 10 of which were in previously untapped markets, including Cleveland, San Antonio, Kansas City and Houston. Wilfong said the brand is hoping to surpass 2015&rsquo;s growth by 10 percent, opening 45 new locations in at least six new markets the rest of the year. Quincy owner Joel Martin said he and his business partner Brandon Scapman are thrilled to be a part of a growing brand and enjoy having the distinction of being the 600th restaurant open.</div>

<div id="pastingspan1">&nbsp;</div>

<div id="pastingspan1">&ldquo;When we were considering an investment opportunity, we were looking for a concept that was unique, provided us an opportunity to grow and that could help make an impact in our community,&rdquo; Martin said. &ldquo;After visiting a few stores and talking over specifics with the Pita Pit team, we decided the brand fit our criteria. The brand has been extremely helpful during this process and it&rsquo;s an honor to be the 600th restaurant open.&rdquo;</div>

<div id="pastingspan1">&nbsp;</div>

<div id="pastingspan1">As Martin highlighted, Pita Pit&rsquo;s appeal goes far beyond its food&mdash;it&rsquo;s a sound investment option too. Franchisees can expect their typical initial investment to range from $166,097 to $322,667 plus they should possess sufficient working capital for the first three months ($25,050 to $30,900). This investment level affords franchisees the opportunity to open multiple units at a reasonable price point compared to most restaurants in the QSR industry. Pita Pit also strives to keep its investment ratio at 2:1 &ndash; meaning sales could exceed the investment cost by 2:1.</div>

<div id="pastingspan1">&nbsp;</div>

<div id="pastingspan1">Pita Pit franchisees benefit from comprehensive training, operational support, real estate and site selection assistance, and marketing support to help restaurants thrive. This distinctive combination, coupled with its healthy approach, makes it a unique franchise investment opportunity for entrepreneurs.</div>

<div id="pastingspan1">&nbsp;</div>

<div id="pastingspan1">&ldquo;The world&rsquo;s push towards healthier alternatives to fast food continues to be a major driver for the brand,&rdquo; Wilfong said. &ldquo;That, along with our uniquely positioned investment opportunity, are why we continue to have success.&rdquo;</div>
